This episode is a conversation with Lee Troop – the coach of USA Marathoner Jake Riley who has been selected for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games and will toe the line in a little over four months. Lee Troop was a superstar athlete himself, posting personal bests of 13:14 for 5000m, 27:51 for 10000m, 1:01:00 for the Half Marathon and 2:09:49 for the Marathon between 1999 and 2003, well before the carbon fibre plates entered the scene. Lee shares his and Jake’s challenges over the last 12 months – a 12 month delay on competing at the Olympics and an injury that has side-lined Jake recently that he’s hoping he can bounce back from fast. Lee also shares some of the plans moving forward.
